Pressure Cooker: Please Open Your Mouth

Only a lucky few guests gain entrance to this infamous Seattle supper club, a clandestine, culinary orgy where members explore their wildest food taboos, fantasies and fetishes. Our 2nd annual Pressure Cooker, we hope you will join us for "Please Open Your Mouth" conceived and written by Joanna Garner and directed by Norah Elges. Seating is extremely limited, we suggest reserving your key to the club immediately.

Tonight, the charismatic Host (Lisa Viertel) and controlling Chef (Tim Gouran) celebrate the anniversary of the club and their relationship with a series of particularly unexpected dinner courses. An immersive theatrical dining experience like we've never done before. Come hungry.

What is the Pressure Cooker, you ask? This annual 5 performance run exists to give emerging local artists the opportunity to work in the Nordo playground with a limited budget and time constraints. The Pressure Cooker invests in the innovation of producers, writers, and directors, cultivating new work that bends the genres of dinner theatre and performance, and pushes the limits of experimental theatre. We provide rehearsal time, feedback sessions, stage construction aid, marketing assistance, menu development, and one week of unfettered access to Nordos Culinarium and staff for tech and performances.

Due to the intimate nature of our performances and the food preparation all sales are final. However we are aware that emergencies happen. Please email chefnordo@cafenordo.com for details. Nordo's Culinarium is a 21+ venue.
